Here is a listing of several Uber Promo codes and deals you do not want to miss out on if you are a regular rider or trying it for the first time.
Uber is a pretty amazing app. I’ve done day trips to cities like Chicago and NYC without having to rent a car thanks to UberX rides that are cheaper than a taxi and far more convenient. And while people wait for an hour in the taxi line I breeze right into a waiting car. I have even earned Starpoints for using Uber on top of 20% Off and an additional 1.5 points per dollar for charging Uber rides to my Everyday Card.

Uber Flat Fares Can Save You “Hugely”
If you do not plan on going to the airport the new Uber Flat Fare tests running in major cities are worth a try if you plan on using rideshare the next 30 days.
How To Access Your Uber Payment Rewards
You can access your Payment Rewards from the “Payment” section under the Menu in the Uber app. Just click on “Payment” in the Menu and then tap the “Unlock Ride Discounts” button to review your benefits. You will then be able to see a progress bar that shows your current status for each payment method, both when requesting a ride and in the payment menu. You can use your discounts or free rides whenever you like, or simply tap “Save for Later” if you want to use your rewards at a later time.
Tips To Avoid Surge Pricing
Uber has long stirred controversy over the higher “surge” prices it charges during peak times. You can do a few things such as changing your location even by a few hundred feet to influence the price you get. Users have also discovered that you can often get back to normal fare levels by waiting as few as five minutes to book your ride.

Other ways to save money riding with UBER include using AMEX Membership Rewards points to pay for a ride and 21.5% back on rides using a Capital One Quicksilver Card. Note: They actually just updated the Quicksilver promotion where you get the 10th ride free instead of the 20% back. You can also earn Starwood Points per ride.

The Chase Freedom credit card comes with rotating quarterly bonus categories where you can earn 5x points on your purchase of up to $1,500 per quarter instead of the regular 1x point per dollar spent. You can now start taking advantage of Chase’s 2018 first quarter rotating categories for this card. The 5% back categories with Chase Freedom really aren’t that exciting for me but this time around it covers what I spend money on the most. This includes cable and internet and phone services if you take out all of my travel purchases but you can do some of those too on Apple or Samsung Pay!
Coming this Summer 2023:
For this quarter, which includes January, February, and March, you can earn 5% cash back on the following:
Gas Stations
Internet, Cell, and Phone Services
Chase Pay, Android Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay
Go here for the rest of of the summer 5% back including Gas purchases.
$200 Bonus for New Accounts
If you’re new to the Chase Freedom Card you can get a $200 Bonus by applying here. You’ll get a $200 bonus after spending $500 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening.
Android Pay, Apple Pay, Chase Pay, and Samsung Pay
Since purchases using Chase Pay, Android Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay trigger the 5% cash back, it should be easy to max out your $1,500 spend cash back! All you have to do is pay with the mobile app at participating stores, or while shopping online. You’ll probably be surprised with how many merchants accept mobile payments and you can normally tell when the card swipe box has a wifi looking sign.
Internet, Phone, and Cable Bills
You can also change your Internet, Cell Phone, and Home Phone service bills to charge your Chase Freedom card instead of the card that is currently being billed. If your combined bills are less then $1,500 for the three months, you can also pre-pay your cell phone bill, for instance, and it will just give you a credit on your bill for the coming months. This option is only good though if you are not currently using a credit card that earns 5x points. Keep in mind that you cannot purchase a phone and get the 5% back because it doesn’t cover equipment. It only covers the service.
Gas Stations
This is a great time to get 5% back at gas stations while fuel costs are higher than normal. Discover Card is also offering a 5% back at gas stations for the first 3 months of 2018. Our favorite Gas Station is Shell where they have a Fuel Rewards program and you can stack the savings on each fill-up.
HSBC is offering a new HSBC Cash Rewards credit card with no annual fee and a $150 bonus when you spend $500 or more in the first 3 months from account opening. Additionally, you’ll get 2% cash back on purchases made within the first 6 months from Account opening, and 10% Anniversary Bonus on all Cash Rewards earned each year. The card also comes with no foreign transaction fees and other decent travel benefits.
We recently applied for this HSBC Cash Rewards Mastercard to earn $150 cash back after spending $500 in the first 3 months of account opening. This a really low spending requirement to make in three months of opening to get a $150 bonus. The process was easy with HSBC and we instantly got approved which was a relief because other banks such as BarclayCard and Chase have made it harder and harder lately. The credit limit was much lower than we would get with other banks but we only need to spend $500 so that’s more than OK.

Amazon has some great deals today if you can still catch them. It’s funny how when they do the yearly Amazon fest or whatever it’s called they would time deals like these for an hour or so but these will last all day. The deals end at 11:59pm December 29.
Uber Gift Card $5 Off
Go Uber on Amazon and click the $50 box then send it to yourself or someone else. At checkout enter promo code UBER. That will bring down the cost to $45. Easiest free $5 ever! If you want to stack that with 5% back on Discover at Amazon you save even more!

The Starbucks BOGO promotion was one of the biggest hits of the year so far and now they are running another great promotion. This comes in handy while you’re traveling or out running errands or Christmas shopping. This is Friends & Family weekend at Starbucks, and you can save 30% on almost any store purchase if you’re in the US.
Simply follow this link and enter your mobile number, and you’ll immediately be texted a coupon code for 30% off a purchase this Saturday or Sunday (December 2 or 3, 2017). This promotion is valid on just about any food, drink, or merchandise. The only exclusions are Mobile Order & Pay purchases, refill tumblers, and Starbucks gift cards. Each code can only be used one time, though you can buy multiple things in one transaction.
